Week 5: Rashi: Evans vs. Schliemann
I personally think that Evans deserved to be criticized more so than Schliemann. In the article it says that Schliemann was criticized for his excavation methods being destructive. Although his methods may have been more destructive than Evans', I think that Evans was more destructive than Schliemann was. Something about reconstructing ancient ruins just kills it for me, because it takes away the essence of being ancient.
